On the Forklift
Shift Your Workflows
into High Gear.
Honeywell Forklift Solutions:
Elevate Your DC Operations with
Integrated Vehicle Solutions
Throughout the supply chain, forklifts have
transformed from material-handling vehicles
into information-technology platforms that
leverage computers, barcode scanners,
printers, RFID, voice and software to optimize
complex workflows. Vehicle-mounted
computing and data collection is a proven
best practice for improving workflows that
offers significant performance benefits:
• Drive workflow productivity with automatic
tracking of vehicle location and status.
• Reduce material-handling costs while
improving compliance and safety with
better operational efficiency.
• Optimize order fulfillment rates and
inventory accuracy with real-time tracking.
• Prevent misshipments by automatically
verifying pallet ID and dock-door location.
• Streamline operations while reducing labor
costs and capital expenses by integrating
your technologies into seamless solutions.

platform that delivers true functional agility with the perfect balance of ruggedness, duty
cycle and ergonomics for the most demanding distribution center environments.
Tecton Cold Storage Mobile Computer
Light enough for scan-intensive picking yet tough enough to excel in extremely cold
environments, the Honeywell Tecton™ Cold Storage mobile computer is purpose-built with
internal heaters, screen defrosters and special battery packs, all of which optimize operating
life and usability as operators roam in and out of refrigerated environments.
Industrial Handheld Barcode Scanners
Built for long-term durability, industrial-grade Honeywell barcode scanners
ensure superior durability and reliability, no matter the environment. From tough
applications in harsh locales to high-volume scanning in fast-paced settings,
Honeywell scanners optimize critical data collection workflows. And your operators
can easily scan pallets from long distances without leaving their forklift, thanks to
the same extra-long-range imagers used in our mobile computers.
Granit 1980i and 1981i Industrial-Grade Full-Range Scanners
The Granit™ 1980i wired and 1981i wireless scanners feature full-range area-imaging
